"That's right, Tina, these are Uncle Darren and Uncle Will." Alphonse introduced Kristina again: "This is Mr. Otong and his son Sova II."<

/p>

"Hello." Christina's expression was very carefree.

"Is he as big as Little Leeson?" Will Morty asked with a smile.

"A little older." Alphonse replied vaguely, but Francis smiled and said, "How about letting Sova get to know her?"

"For Sova, this must not be a good idea." Alphonse smiled, but did not make a statement. Anyway, based on the completely different personalities of the two people, he knew that there was no compatibility at all.

Sure enough, Kristina herself asked Sova II: "Do you want to know me?"

"Ah?" Sova II obviously didn't react.

"He doesn't want to." Kristina shrugged to everyone.

"Haha!" Everyone except Sova II burst out laughing...

Soon Kristina showed that she was extremely unsociable with ladies:

First of all, the clothes give people the feeling of a country bumpkin who is completely unable to keep up with the trend. Nowadays, some aristocratic girls of several years old are wearing tutu skirts with bustles, but the teenage Kristina

Wearing styles from decades ago;

After that, the topic could not be discussed. Veronica also tried to introduce her to new friends, but Kristina was soon offended. As a result, before the real banquet started, Kristina

Already sitting next to Alphonse eating.

"Can't even make any friends?" Alphonse teased her with a smile.

"I don't need such a friend." Kristina coolly replied.

"Although I don't want to say it, not only in Calais, you will probably only be able to make friends like this wherever you go in the future." Alphonse smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "You have a rich brother, you will inevitably face

A wealthy group feels the loneliness of being unable to find friends after being wealthy and prosperous."

"I would rather enjoy this loneliness than make friends like this." Christina replied very firmly.

"Why don't you two go dance?" Darren Desai held Mrs. Desai's arm and sat down next to Alphonse and asked. There were only seats for the four major families on this long table, from the center to the left.

They are all the Desai family, and on the right are Alfonse, Christina and Oton and his son.

"She likes to dance solo. I don't like it at all and I can't dance." Alphonse laughed.

"Sorry, the banquet has started, right?" Who knew that Darren? Desai and Alphonse were already in place, and the Otons and his son quickly followed them back to their seats; the music slowly lowered its volume, and it turned out that it was still there

Everyone who was dancing or socializing quickly returned to their tables to wait to speak.

"Dingle bell." Darren Desai tapped the wall of the wine glass with a spoon. Everyone suddenly became silent and turned to look at Darren Desai, only to see him stand up from the chair and clear his mind.

Then he smiled and said: "I am very honored to gather with you all on such a day that is about to have a good harvest, and on behalf of my family, I would like to thank you all for coming to tonight's banquet."

"You are so kind." Everyone started to applaud for a few seconds before stopping and listening to Darren Desai continue.

"In addition, I personally would like to thank everyone for their support and recommendation of me as the current general secretary of the Commercial Alliance before I returned. I am extremely grateful and will work hard to add luster to this honor.

"As Darren Desai said, he bowed deeply to everyone again.

After being humble for a while, Darren Desai began to talk about his expectations for the future of the Business Alliance and his work plan, with an attitude of working hard for the Business Alliance...

Everyone else heard this with excitement, but Kristina seemed disapproving. She even turned sideways and whispered to Alphonse: "It's the same at the banquet between aunt and the bad woman. They all come up and talk nonsense. In fact,

Anyone who believes these words is a fool; they are of no use at all, they are just looking for something to kill time."

"Really? I also plan to go up and give a speech. After all, such an impassioned atmosphere is rare, especially the feeling of being the center of attention." Alphonse replied with a smile.

"It's best not to, because you are dressed like a country bumpkin and it will affect the impression." Kristina curled her lips and replied.

"Oh? I think you dress more like a bumpkin, and I'm just casual." Alphonse laughed, people are so strange, and they always have double standards for themselves and others.

"Haha." Christina continued as she clapped along with everyone: "By the way, do you know about the auction in Boulogne next month?"

"You also know about the auction?" This surprised Alphonse.

"I also overheard it. When my aunt was having a banquet at home, some guests said that a pistol would be auctioned at the auction in Boulogne next month. It was said to be made by a famous craftsman." Christina whispered.

: "I recommend you buy it."

"Why?" Alphonse smiled.

"This will help you protect me. You see, you don't even bring a sword with you when you go out. As you said, if you are rich, wouldn't it be dangerous to go out?" Kristina curled her lips and replied.

"You may not know that I just laughed at Armand for not bringing my sword when I went out. Unexpectedly, you also used it to laugh at me." Alphonse smiled and said, "If I guessed correctly, it was actually you who wanted to follow me.

Going to the auction, right?"

"I just find it interesting." Christina whispered back.

"Okay, I will indeed go to the auction, but I don't plan to take you with me." Alphonse slightly guessed that his godfather might show up at the auction, so the little girl tried to deceive Alphonse with clumsy lies.

Fang Si goes there.

"I'm bored at home alone. I might get into trouble." Kristina said.

"Do you want to live on the street?" Alphonse turned to look at her and said, "It is a good thing to pursue freedom, but it is not necessarily true to indulge in freedom."

"What do you mean?" Christina replied guiltily.

"You are probably tired of the intrigues and boring life of the nobles, and so am I; but as someone who has died once, my advice to you is that you only have one life, don't die before you get the freedom you want.

"Alphonse once again followed others in applauding and said:

"Exercise yourself and pretend to be in an environment you don't like. This will help you get a greater chance when you encounter danger.

And you are not pursuing freedom now, you are making yourself stronger. Just like now, the freedom you can pursue is probably living on the street;

And I have a lot of money. If I want to go to sea, I can go to the new world. I will have more freedom than you;

The difference between you and me is whether we have sacrificed part of our freedom to strengthen ourselves and prepare for greater freedom in the future."

Kristina lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking about. At this time, Darren Desai, who finally finished speaking, also handed over the topic: "You must know the person next to me, our Calais

The star of tomorrow, oh no, is already the most shining business tycoon, Alphonse de Moller, should we let him say a few words?"

"Yes!"

"Alphonse, say a few words!"

"Mr. Mohler, you must tell everyone about your great plan!"

"Alphonse, come here, as the largest shareholder of the Merchant Alliance, tell us about your dream." Darren Desai smiled and pulled Alphonse up. Alphonse then stood up and said to

He bowed slightly to everyone, smiled and said:

"Thank you all for giving me a chance to speak. To be honest, I am very nervous now. Uncle Darren asked me to tell you about my dream;

But to be honest, I once told my first partner that money is enough. What dreams do you want? Money can make your dreams come true, right?"

"Haha! Do you already have more money than you ever dreamed of?" The next businessman joked with a smile.

"Oh, no, my dream is not that small, it is at least worth half the world's gold." Alphonse smiled: "But my dream is only my personal dream after all;

So I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about this. Let’s keep it simple and talk about how to realize dreams; for example, how to make more money and buy other people’s dreams first.”

"Ahaha! Mr. Moller, let's talk about it. You are right. We don't need to talk about dreams. We should talk about how to realize our dreams. Even if that doesn't work, it's not bad if we have enough money to buy other people's dreams...

."

"Archimedes once said that if you give him a fulcrum, he can support the entire earth. The same is true for wealth. The land under our feet is our hometown and our fulcrum; our boats and trucks are levers;

And now our wealth is the weight at this end, which is used to move our ship. Wherever the truck touches, countless money rolls towards us along the lever; and among them, there are fulcrums, levers, and weights.

, which one should we give priority to?"

"Fulcrum! Without a fulcrum, it is not enough to move the earth."

"No, it should be leverage. Without leverage, even a fulcrum is useless!"

"No, it should be weights. Without them, how can we leverage more wealth?"

"Alphonse, tell us what to choose." Darren Desai looked at Alphonse with a smile. Everyone was also looking at Alphonse, waiting for his answer.

"I'm sorry, I'm an adult, I don't make choices, I want them all!" Alphonse opened his arms and laughed loudly: "This is exactly why we are reunited here today: each of us has a fulcrum, a lever.

Follow the weight;

What we have to do is to bring all the fulcrums together and make them strong enough to move the entire earth;

Let's connect our levers again and make them longer than in any one person's hand, until we can pry the deepest part of the earth;

Finally, put all our weight on it and pry the wealth of the entire earth towards us!"
